Some desert stuff

[DavidS]

Took this shot from the front porch one evening just before sunset. Would often see it after dark up on the yard light pole or underneath the light grabbing up goodies.

Greg, those are some really great photos. Thanks very much. The couple sitting in the chair reminded me of a Cialis ad I saw during a golf tournament.

Fantastic photos. Makes me want to visit down there again sometime.

Just thought I'd post some stuff I see when out and about here in the desert southwest. . . .

Thank you for sharing, sir.

Even here in the more populous Tucson area, the sky and nearby Pusch Ridge take on the appearance of a child's drawing often enough to amaze me.

Maybe it is because we were transplanted only a little more than a decade ago, but I never tire of the views.

Life is good!

Thank you again for the timely reminder.

Beautiful country and awesome photos Greg!
I am a live and let live kinda guy too, but I hope that CW45 has some snake shot in it just in case! I'd be afraid my dog would find and wanna sniff that mean looking thing and end up getting bit!

Thanks for sharing the photos all.

Greg and Tucson, I love your location.

Have a variety of them around here. I killed quite a few of em in the house.

Walked up to the porch one day and noticed something a bit off. I stood still for a few seconds and one of them things went to scurrying towards the door. I watched as he/she climbed up the wall under the sliding door frame then into the crack between frame and door. I quietly moved to the door and opened it watching carefully and the thing scurried inside and found a crack to hide in right away.

One of them stung my daughter in bed. Freaked the wife out and she called poison control, luckily the ones around here are about the same as a wasp sting. Poor girl has my luck.. she got bit by a spider in bed.. doctor claims it was a Brown Recluse. She went on a vacation with my sister and came down with shingles which the doctor my sister took her to did not diagnose.

Pretty much the same here. My wife and I have both been 'bit' a couple times, no spider bites yet.
Ever catch one and put it under a black light in a dark room?

But this one with babies is just plain creeeeepy!

Great bee pictures. You must have an expensive camera to get that quality. I take photos but haven't got any that crisp and clear of Bees.

My first wife, children, and I were about to leave the house on vacation in Abilene, Texas, late 80's(?) and I went to put something in the front closet. There was a 3" scorpion. I put it into a jar with a ventilated top and away we went. When we returned it was covered with babies like that!

We had seen a few others... 2-3"... one in the kids' bathroom sink! No stings, though.

I used to turn over stuff to look for critters when walking in Colorado and Arizona... lots of interesting things!

I grew up in the Mojave desert.
Roadrunners and Mojave green rattlers.
These strange burrowing owl’s.
And of course lots of jackrabbits and ground squirrels.

The actual location was Antelope Valley CA.
But I never saw a single antelope...

Summertime thunderstorms were breathtaking.
